Phoenix on the brink of breaking its record for most 110-degree days

The city of Phoenix is on track to break its record for the most 110-degree days in a year, with 52 so far in 2023, according to The Weather Channel. The record, from 2020, stands at 53 days.

Phoenix residents are expected to experience sweltering temperatures as high as 114 degrees Fahrenheit over the weekend, The Weather Channel's forecast predicts, continuing the summer's brutal heat wave with no end in sight.

The Arizona city endured a record 31 consecutive days of 110-plus degree weather in July, which also marked the hottest month globally on record, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service .
